Go - but go on an expense account

Mon, 12 Jun 2000 18:02:17 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I was recently taken to Shun Lee Palace for dinner by a friend with a liberal expense account. I'm telling you - it's the only way to go. The place is beautiful to look at - there really is an etched glass dragon on the ceiling! - and much more elegant...

Online Auctions: Do not buy a PC from this site!!!

Mon, 31 Jan 2000 21:41:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I confess - I was lured by the great price and the reliability of the Egghead name. After all, I have been buying from Egghead for years and I don't think I have ever been disappointed. However, now that they pass their pc sales onto to ElitePC (I...

Yahoo%21 Bill Pay: Another winner from Yahoo!

Wed, 5 Jan 2000 18:44:19 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I have already stated in another review that I am quite fond of Yahoo! Their email service, calendar, reminders, etc. have all made my life easier. Now they have done it again with Yahoo! Bill Pay. I have been a fan of electronic bill paying for a...

Well, if you're looking for the book...

Sun, 26 Dec 1999 20:21:43 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - ... you will be disappointed. The story played out in this new version of E.B. White's classic tale is not exactly faithful to the original plot of the book. However, it is faithful to the spirit White imbued in every word of his tale. The true...

Always a classic

Thu, 23 Dec 1999 21:04:23 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - This book should be on the list of books every child should know by heart. My mother read this to me over and over when I was a child, until I was old enough to read it myself. All these years later (and we won't discuss how many years, thank you very...

Bowie and magic - what could be bad?

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 23:20:16 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - If you love fantasy, magic and quests, this movie is definitely for you. If, like me, you also have a crush on David Bowie, so much the better.

The story starts out as the typical misunderstood step-daughter plot -"daddy remarried and...

Fun with Photography: Wonderful introduction to photography for kids

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 22:29:23 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - While searching around for good Hanukkah presents this year, I stumbled on a book and gift fair being held in a company cafeteria. Who'd a thunk I would find such a great present there?

Fun with Photography is a perfect way to introduce your...

KIEHL'S - Blue Astringent Herbal Lotion: Here's one for us Moms!

Sat, 11 Dec 1999 17:32:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - Ok, so lots of us have that dirty little secret we keep hidden. After we had kids, all the moisture seemed to get sucked right out of our bodies and left us with this weird dry skin - for me it is really bad on my upper arms and elbows and my ankles and...

Don't bother to rent it - just buy a copy

Sun, 5 Dec 1999 00:10:34 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I guarantee once you see this great movie once, you will want to watch it over and over. It is everything I want in a movie for kids - a real story, characters you can care about, a moral lesson (but not given with a sledgehammer), humor and heart. Of...

Gorgeous fantasy

Sat, 4 Dec 1999 23:59:25 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I was privileged to get a copy of this movie years ago in the original Japanese form. My son was about 3 at the time. Of course, we couldn't understand what was being said, but the animation was so incredibly beautiful and the expressions of the...

Yahoo! Mail: I'll add my $.02 - Updated

Sat, 4 Dec 1999 18:09:05 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - Since this is a fairly widely reviewed service, perhaps I need not add my review. However when I feel strongly about something, particularly in a positive way, I think I should speak up.

I've used quite a few of the services on the Web - free...

The boys are back!

Sat, 4 Dec 1999 17:24:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I loved Yes when I was in high school and college (I'm older than I look) and have enjoyed listening to all their classic albums through the years. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard that they were releasing a new album!! How great is that?...

Fond memories

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 15:05:44 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I read this book quite a while ago, but the memories stay with me. Mark Helprin's haunting prose creates beautiful images in my mind. The tale of a man's journey through time and the love story are wonderful.

Since I am a New Yorker, born and...

A winner

Tue, 30 Nov 1999 13:34:28 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - My son has been a devoted Kermit fan since he was a baby. He just turned 11 and Kermit is still his best pal. Therefore, when we were in Costco on Saturday and he saw this new, talking Kermit his eyes glazed over and he sort of lost his mind. Ok, so...

I still miss Harry

Mon, 29 Nov 1999 23:11:35 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - This is kind of a personal review, because Harry was a friend of mine. We met at the Huntington Folk Music Society when I was about 14 and he was just starting to make a name. I got to know his brothers and his dad. I was at the outdoor ampitheater his...

Let's Swing!

Mon, 29 Nov 1999 23:00:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I first saw these incredible guys on 60 Minutes, of all places. They were hanging out with Mike Wallace who was doing a piece on the new (at the time) swing dance craze. The music (and the lead singer) stuck in my mind, although I didn't retain the...

King of Broadway - The Lion King

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 22:47:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - It costs a ton, you may have to wait for tickets until your youngest is ready for college, but I guarantee you that seeing The Lion King on Broadway will be one of the most incredible experiences of your life.

I feel I am qualified to say...

Corel WordPerfect 8: My old favorite still shines through

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 21:28:54 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I go back with WordPerfect all the way to version 3.8 - yes, there really was one. I'm older than I look. It has always been the best word processor, bar none, and nothing has changed. Since I am a project manager for a network integration company, I...

Hallelujah! Real women at last!

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 21:18:31 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - Ok, so I am a BBW - have been all my life. (BBW=Big Beautiful Woman) Doesn't bother me, certainly doesn't bother my husband. (Ok, so I lost 50 pounds in the last 7 months - that was for health reasons, not because I hate my size.)

One thing...

Gave me nightmares... still does!

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 21:05:15 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I let a friend talk me into seeing this movie when I was in college. I don't remember the friend, but I do remember it took half a bottle of Jack Daniels to get me to sleep after I saw it.

Violent, disturbing, vicious - all these words have...

A must for dino fans

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 20:52:57 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - My son, who has been a major dino nut since he was 2, still wants to be a paleontologist. So, what better event to take him to for his 11th birthday than this movie? Absolutely nothing!!! He loved it and so did his friend and the rest of us. It is a...

Not your usual IMAX, but worth the time

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 20:45:34 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - My daughter, who was 7 at the time, was very worried about this movie. Anything to do with sharks, she felt was risky.

But the incredible footage of the underwater life surrounding this island made her forget her fears. We learned so much...

Good, but don't take the kids!

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 20:38:32 GMT

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I feel strongly that I must warn parents about this movie. Yes, it is an incredible visual journey and you really do feel like you climbed Mt. Everest when you are done.

But - and this is a BIG but - do not take kids under 11 to this. I...

Moving and enjoyable

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 19:41:15 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - I have read many of Maeve Binchy's books and have enjoyed them all. I found this one to be very good and more satisfying than some of her others. The plot takes a while to get to what you have been waiting for - the 2 principal protagonists switch...

Don't overlook this gem!

Sun, 28 Nov 1999 17:15:17 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ejmuller - This movie has Robin Williams' heart and soul in every frame and it shows. Granted, the movie did not do well at the box office, but since when do we let that bother us?

It is surrealistic, funny, warm and very entertaining. It stars...
